Getting a "good morning" text from a girl was enough to do it today.
New modem firmware lets me squeeze an extra 200KB/s from my line.
That's ~35% increase!!

Went to the beach and played soccer and football with the misses.
Despite a great deal of things that pissed me off today (not worth mentioning), I pulled into a gas station that surprisingly had Full Service, and for the same price that the other Self-Serve stations had. It was awesome, I felt like I was back in 1994.
Note: My state does not have mandatory Full Service gas stations.
Man, I want to try full service one time. I've never seen on in Australia. Ever.

I haven't been back to a full-serve station since I started going to self-serve stations 10 years ago. I don't see that many full-serve stations any more but I know of at least one self-serve that offers full service for a few cents more per litre and there is a full-serve by my house which is across the street from a self-serve and there's only a 0.4 cent price difference between them.
What's the point? So you can just sit in your car? Its not like you can fill up and leave the gas station any faster than if you did it yourself. Seems novel, but I'd rather step outside anyway.

While I think full service is just laziness on the part of the elite, I imagine it's like buying off the rack versus getting a tailored suit. Nothing says "disposable income" like paying someone to pump your gas and wash your windshield while you idle away the time in your leather seats listening to music. Makes one feel "better" than others.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Fixed my damned X-fi again so now mic input works.
Finally my new Headphones were delivered(Roccat Kave 5.1 - they are damn awesome).
And party 2 days ago made me smile.

Lol I have been doing driving lessons for ages... I've spent like 5000$ or more so far. Is it expensive there too?I've just finished my driving lessons - now i need to take mock theoretical exam and then the national exam... and pass it...and in Gdansk its the hardest one from all cities...
its 900-1000 pln(approx you can buy 1$ for 3,2 pln) for 30h of driving lessons + theory lessons. Each additional hour is 50pln. Practical exam costs 150pln and theory 100pln.
If you fail 3 exams you have to get 5 extra hours of driving.
P.s take into account that average earnings here are approx 2000 pln.
Also examinators in Gdansk are infamous for doing everything to make you fail the exam...

Yet don't you come from the land where police don't give a shit about speeding?
My dad's a driving instructor, so that shaved off all my driving lesson costs

Haha. I remember I did a couple of minor mistakes during the driving examination but not enough or nothing that would have prevented it from being accepted. The one thing I specifically remember is that the examiner told me afterwards that I don't need to wait for every granny in the town to cross the street... (Although that certainly wasn't an actual offense as such.)
My main issue in my driving test was waiting too long at roundabouts.
Didn't stop me passing neither though.

Well, here its like this - you see a slow moving car FAR away and you are on sub route(that is you have to wait to get some free space on main route) - you would be able to do this damned left turn 5 times but if you try to even move forward you will fail - because you "forced him" to slow down...
Also the current director of PORD(equivalent of DMV for the gdansk) is a bastard - when he started his work number of people passing fell down by 30-40%.
And in the examination routes(that is the one with highest probability of being on exam) are badly marked - sometimes you have to know that the crossed section on the street does not exist - it was erased few years ago from plans but for some weird it is still on the street, and sometimes its the opposite..

Our hot water for our coffee maker / hot water dispenser isn't working... and there was absolute panic. There was more panic about the lack of coffee this morning than there was when our phone system was messed up yesterday.
Talk about ridiculous. I was literally on 2 simultaneous phone calls and hadsomebody coming into my office in a panic because there's no coffee... I have nothing to do w\ the coffee so i don't know what they were hoping that I could do for them. srsly... ridiculous stuff.
